I've got a new word, vSpan.
It's like C-Span where we get coverage of events that are not normally covered by mainstream media.
vSpan is Citizen Journalists who are there with their video cameras, documenting events as they happen.
When this gets popular, we'll be able to see things that up till now, we've just been able to read about in the newspapers.
Right now I'm using this as a TEST VIDEO BLOG to check out new ways of easily posting video to the web.

Singing For Kerry

On Monday night October 18th, all eyes in Boston were on the Red Sox, except for a group of kids who were in a Boston recording studio, recording a fight song for Kerry/Edwards.

I can truly see this sort of thing taking off, citizens videotaping and sending to a site where we can all view it, instead of watching the nightly news, real news will be witnessed. This video was particularly hidef. I am very happy.

I'd really like to check out this item on your video blog but it simply won't work on my linux system. How about AT LEAST putting a link directly to the media content so us poor underpriviledged non-Mac users can partake of the revolution.

kudos on the vigilante journalism. i have to say you're working with great hardware (not to mention software (go os x!!!)) but you could really benefit from a tripod; it can make your work look oh so much more professional.
